press release: Swarm-To-Table Gourmet Insect Tasting and Art Exhibit
The Undergraduate Entomology Society, Slow Food UW, and MIGHTi have joined forces to bring Madison an unforgettable afternoon of insect-based cuisine. We hope to generate enthusiasm for insect agriculture by showcasing edible insects as a delicious, nutrient-dense, and sustainable ingredient. Beginning at 2:30pm on Saturday, April 2nd in the banquet space of The Crossing, Chef Jack, ORIGIN bread, and the Slow Food UW kitchen team will be serving up a multi-course insect based tasting menu including grasshoppers, ants, crickets, silk worm pupae, scorpions, and more!
Don't come only for the food! Our awe-inspiring afternoon of farm-to-table gourmet fare will not be complete without engaging conversation, a micro-documentary highlighting researchers and insect farmers in our community, and a dazzling arthropod-inspired art show.
Dress for a night out, keeping in mind that prizes will be awarded for the best bug themed attire... don't hold back!
Made Possible by the Sam Graham Catalyst Fund, The Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, and the University of Wisconsin, Madison's Departments of Life Science Communication and Entomology
